YAPC::NA 2014 Talk Proposal

Dezi ♡ Lucy

The Apache Lucy search engine library has been around, under one name or another, for several years. This talk focuses on its recent developments as a top-level project at Apache, and the Dezi search platform built on top of Lucy. As examples we will look at a couple of projects developed using Lucy and Dezi at American Public Media.
